Therefore, budgeting for more frequent removal, on the order of every five to ten years, is recommended. The following annual budget for maintenance includes monthly inspection, landscaping and debris removal as well as annualized reserve funds for erosion control, sediment removal and revegetation and for hazardous material removal (if required). The Site Specific Storm Drainage Pollution Abatement Fee will include an annual inflation adjustment in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim, for April of each year.
